Brett, first try in a smaller bucket your sawdustfiring with one or two
pieces in it. Pack the firing materials rather loosely so the fire can
develop properly, I think you do not have to worry about breakage if the
pieces are sitting on top of each other because the firing materials
will turn into ashes only gradually so that the top pieces will settle
down slowly. I did my first sawdustfiring with friends on Friday and we
had packed our sawdust and other materials a bit to tight! We will try
again. Good luck ! Heidrun in Bangkok
